A few weeks ago I dropped an episode on the real cost of staying hot after 40 and you asked for the receipts. So here they are. Over 18 years, $1.3 million, and one $34,000 decision I didn’t see coming — I’m laying out exactly where the money went, what worked, what didn’t, and the thing about hormones and aging nobody wants to say out loud.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
  • The actual monthly breakdown of what staying hot after 40 costs — skincare, hormones, procedures, and the category that surprised me most
  • Why you cannot out-discipline unaddressed hormones — and what I spent years and thousands of dollars figuring out about perimenopause
  • The $34,000 lesson I learned in a waiting room before I ever saw the doctor’s face
  • The distinction between anti-aging and pro-getting-older that changed how I think about all of it
  • Why I call myself high-investment instead of high-maintenance — and why that difference matters
  • What $1.3 million actually bought me (hint: it’s not what you think)
  • The thing I’m going through right now that’s making all of this harder — and why I’m still doing it anyway

If you’re a woman over 40 who spends real money on looking and feeling good and has been quietly wondering if you’re crazy for it — this one’s for you.

What is I'd Like To Thank Myself ?

We thank everyone else for our success... friends, team, mentors. But when’s the last time you thanked the only person who actually dragged you through hell and back?

YourSELF.

This show is my love letter to the version of you who doesn’t get enough credit. The you who kept going when it would’ve been easier to quit.

I’m pulling back the curtain on what it actually looks like to be 48, building a skincare company, navigating perimenopause, raising a teenager, and refusing to become invisible.

The stuff nobody talks about after 40. And how I’m rewriting all of it.

Sometimes it’s just me. Sometimes it’s founders, creatives, and icons who’ve rewritten everything too. Always, it’s the raw truth.

Nothing filtered. Nothing softened. Nothing for show. Just the truth... and a drink.

Every episode ends the same way: we raise a glass and say the thing most people are too humble to admit: I’d like to thank mySELF.
